It is not my policy to hit voters during the election.

I know people are fickle.

I'm not, nor is anybody I know in government part of a nasty right wing clique.

I still agree with the invasion of Iraq. I don't agree with most of the decisions that accompanied it.

It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.

I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.

You do have to do business with and to try to influence people you don't agree with, or find disagreeable, so it's important to stress that balance.
